Asset prices go up. What do people do with the free money? They buy stuff.

This is what happens when interest rates are “artificially” lowered below zero. (When I say “artificially,” I mean when the central bank sets rates below zero.)

The trouble comes – of course – when the policy is reversed. Then all those assets that were bought with borrowed money fall in price, and everyone that borrowed too much goes bankrupt.

You might think that no country in its right mind would move interest rates below zero…

You would be wrong…

Denmark moved interest rates below zero in 2012. They are still below zero today.

Guess what? The people of Denmark are the most indebted people on the planet.

Now the rest of Europe is thinking of following Denmark’s lead and cutting interest rates below zero… Switzerland talked about lowering interest rates below zero last week. And the European Central Bank last week explained that negative interest rates were a pretty attractive option.

In short, much of Europe could see negative interest rates – soon.

What will happen then? You already know… Savers will get clobbered. People will borrow money. And asset prices will go up.

So what should you do?

Own assets. Own stocks and real estate, both in Europe and in the U.S.

Know that you will sell those assets someday. You know that the rise in asset prices will be built on ultra-low (and potentially negative) interest rates around the globe. And you know that those ultra-low interest rates will have to end someday. You don’t want to go down with the ship.

We may have a long time before we have to sell…

Last week, The Economist magazine wrote that “markets don’t anticipate the European Central Bank [raising interest rates] back to 2% until at least 2020.”

So don’t worry just yet.

I could be wrong of course. But I believe that this is still a time to be playing offense, not defense.

There will be a day to play good defense. But we’re not there yet…

In my opinion, now is a time to make money. Central banks around the world have interest rates at zero (like the U.S.) or less (like Denmark… and potentially the rest of Europe).

Let’s take advantage of it!
